I’m one of those who “do nothing”, if you’re measuring by commits and lines of code.

  • as an architect, I spend way too much time doing diagrams and presentation
  • as a point of engineering escalation, I spend a lot of time researching things no one can figure out
  • as a stickler for code quality, I like nothing more than those days where my lines of code are negative

On the other hand, if you go by the amount of code I indirectly effect with best practices, code quality, appsec, and assisting developers, I affect all of engineering (hundreds)
